BEAM is a student club at Bates College (Lewiston, ME) dedicated to taking direct action to address global climate change and environmental sustainability, both on Bates campus and beyond, through political participation, discussion and campus-wide events. As a part of the international youth climate movement we regularly partake in nation-wide and global campaigns to promote progressive climate legislation, climate justice, the development of renewable energy sources and the growth of green jobs. BEAM gatherings and actions foster a strong sense of activism on the Bates campus. There is no time to wait for someone else to solve this problem – the responsibility is ours and we are rising to the challenge!
